senator john mccain took the lead on the republican side. president barack obama, then a senator, was part of that effort. unfortunately we haven't moved forward since those days. there's one part of immigration reform which is very important to me personally. it's known as the dream act. 11 years ago i introduced this legislation for the first time. it would allow a select group of immigrant students with great potential to contribute to this country. the dream act would give these students a chance to earn their way to citizenship if they came to the u.s. as children, have good moral character, graduated from high school and at least complete two years of college or serve in our military. these young people grew up in america, and they've overcome great obstacles. they went to school with many of our own kids and are valedictorians, star agent leads, leaders in the rotc. they are future teachers, doctors, engineers who would make america stronger. why would we want to educate them and lose their talents for the future of our country? last

and john mccain wasn't the greatest candidate in 2008. republicans still figured out how to win some senate seats that year. this year the republican brand was ravaged. and they paid for it whether they were moderates like tommy thompson, whether they were tea partiers, like the two whose names i never have to mention again, whether it was self-funding candidates like linda mcmahon, they all got slaughtered. >> big goose egg. >> their record in the dozen or so competitive senate races was as bad as mitt romney's was in the nine battleground states. i mean, they won about one or two of the really competitive races. >> and you know what john cornyn could have done about that, running the republican senatorial committee? nothing. nothing. because we so savaged our brand through the primary process. you know, when one week you had herman cain leading the field, sarah palin would be leading the field, rick perry would be leading the field, these people that had a hard time communicating on television that seemed to be marginal political figure
